Hoped to do more endurance/PE work this week but not up to it which was frustrating. Hopefully won’t take so long to recover from laps on THFML tomorrow. Started to cut down on carbs in last couple of day
longest roof problem in the peak and further?

Did the individual moves except for the heel toe swap, Thought you’d be plenty tall enough to reach the good flatty off the heel? I’ve only seen shorter people need to swap out of the heel.

Oh and King Cannibal is a similar sort of thing and maybe twice the length?Oh plus Belly of the Beast at the Tor! Or Weeding the Lip maybe. The stuff at Windy Knoll is all roof based too and very long.Basically, there's actually quite a lot of horizontal climbing in the Peak haha
I realised that if I could swap the heel to a toe right at the top of the start jug then I could get the good right hand 3 finger flatty, left hand to the gaston then go high left heel while keeping the right toe on, basically in the splits, to avoid the cut. It was a highly speculative visit as 7C+ in a session would be new for me. Perhaps I gave in too soon, but I did have a really nice time at Crafnant afterwards.

T. Folks arrived to stay with us for a few days.F.S. S.
(according to the ever reliable Garry Latter). Scrambled up Curving Ridge and thrashed around grassy ledges looking for this for some time and failing to find it (thank you again Gary for your ambiguous approach description). Continued scrambling up Curved Ridge heading for the East Face of North Buttress. More thrashing across gullies until we were nearly there. By this time I had run out of gas and I didn't feel safe on my feet. I requested we bail.
